Let's talk about the small habits quietly killing your connection…  because most relationships don't fall apart from one big betrayal, they drift apart from the little things we let slide every day.

I'm also answering your live questions on setting boundaries in short-term relationships and how to start the sex conversation with a new partner.

Before we can bridge the gaps in our teams, families, and communities, we have to address the gap within ourselves. In a world filled with constant noise, how do we maintain clarity, peace, and balance?Join host Dr. Keith Haney as he sits down with Erin Treacy to talk about the power of emotional intelligence in modern leadership. Erin shares her journey through a life-altering health scare that taught her the critical necessity of slowing down and prioritizing self-care. Tune in to learn why connection with others begins with connection to self, and how taking intentional micro-breaks can help you lead with empathy, resilience, and grace.Takeaways:In a world filled with noise, reconnecting with ourselves is crucial for clarity and balance in our daily lives.Ignoring our body's signals can lead to burnout, so we should prioritize self-care and listen to our needs.Effective leadership is all about connection; understanding the people we work with makes all the difference in fostering a positive environment.Two minutes of intentional unplugging can have a profound impact on our day, allowing us to regain focus and clarity.Links referenced in this episode:ErinTreacyCoaching.comfacebook.com/CoachErinTreacyinstagram.com/CoachErinTreacylinkedin.com/in/CoachErinTreacytiktok.com/@CoachErinTreacyMentioned in this episode:My friend Dr. Noah St. John calls this 'the invisible brake.'

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 227, They're Not Ignoring You: It's a Skill Gap is one of those episodes that changes how parents see one of autism's most misunderstood challenges.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer gives us something we don't always have during the school year...Time.Time to slow down, connect, and intentionally build the skills our children need most.If you've ever felt like your child ignores you, doesn't respond when you call their name, or seems completely focused on objects, screens, or their own interests, this episode is for you.Because here's the truth:They're not ignoring you.They're missing a skill.Attention to people is a foundational skill that many autistic children need to be intentionally taught. And the wonderful news is... skills can be built.In this episode, Shannon explains why attention to people is so challenging for many autistic children and shares practical, age-specific strategies you can begin using today.You'll learn:• Why attention to people is a learned skill—not a behavior problem• Why many autistic children naturally attend to objects before people• How autism and ADHD together can make attention even more challenging• Practical strategies for toddlers, school-age children, teens, and young adults• Everyday ways to build connection without pressure or power struggles• Why meeting your child where they are is always the best place to beginOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is this:Connection comes before correction.When we understand the "why" behind our child's behavior, we stop taking it personally and start teaching the skills they need to succeed.

Sustainability conversations usually center on ecosystems, emissions targets, and corporate pledges, but this episode makes the case that people belong at the center of that conversation too. Andrew looks at how communities living closest to refineries, extraction sites, and industrial waterfronts carry a disproportionate share of the pollution burden, often without having consented to the risk in the first place. Using a Philadelphia refinery as a case study, Andrew walks through how fenceline communities experience higher poverty rates, higher rates of residents of color, and elevated cancer and respiratory risk compared to their surrounding cities. He extends that pattern to wildfire response, contrasting how affluent California communities were able to evacuate and rebuild after the Santa Ana wind fires with how remote Northern Ontario and Arctic communities, some with only one road in and one road out, had to be airlifted out entirely. The episode also revisits New York's Hudson River, once devastated by industrial chemical runoff and now home to returning oysters, menhaden, and whales after decades of restoration work. The back half of the episode turns to policy. As federal environmental justice efforts recede in 2026, states including Minnesota, Illinois, and Massachusetts are stepping into that gap, and nonprofit legal teams are winning court challenges against federal rollbacks. Andrew closes with a reminder that protecting the environment and protecting people are frequently the same fight, and that sustainable business practices tend to protect local economies as much as they protect public health. Takeaways Communities near industrial facilities carry a disproportionate pollution burden, often without their consent Fenceline communities show higher poverty rates, higher percentages of residents of color, and elevated cancer and respiratory risk Wildfire evacuation capacity varies sharply by community resources and infrastructure The Hudson River's recovery shows environmental restoration is possible after decades of industrial damage States are advancing environmental justice policy as federal efforts recede in 2026 Courts have blocked some federal rollbacks of environmental justice funding Protecting the environment and protecting public health are frequently the same fight Support Independent Podcasts: https://www.speakupforblue.com/patreon Need help with your ocean non-profit, company, or project?

Patriot Front is a white nationalist group that focuses on high visibility stunts, like banner drops, disrupting events, or swarming Washington, DC for Independence Day. Meanwhile, the State Department has convened 60 nations against what it calls far-left terrorism. We talk to NPR's Odette Yousef about who the guys in Patriot Front actually are, why their finances resemble a pyramid scheme selling stickers and stencils, and what it means that the federal government is aiming its counterterrorism attention in a very different direction.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode, we listen to the worry of a person about another, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 297, penned by Madurai Maruthan Ilanaakanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands Landscape’, the verse sketches scenes of human life and wildlife in this domain. பானாட் கங்குலும், பெரும் புன் மாலையும்,ஆனா நோயொடு அழி படர்க் கலங்கி,நம்வயின் இனையும் இடும்பை கைம்மிக,என்னை ஆகுமோ, நெஞ்சே! நம் வயின்இருங் கவின் இல்லாப் பெரும் புன் தாடி,கடுங்கண் மறவர் பகழி மாய்த்தென,மருங்குல் நுணுகிய பேஎம் முதிர் நடுகல்,பெயர் பயம் படரத் தோன்று குயில் எழுத்துஇயைபுடன் நோக்கல்செல்லாது, அசைவுடன்ஆறு செல் வம்பலர் விட்டனர் கழியும்சூர் முதல் இருந்த ஓமை அம் புறவின்,ஈர் முள் வேலிப் புலவு நாறு முன்றில்,எழுதியன்ன கொடி படு வெருகின்பூளை அன்ன பொங்கு மயிர்ப் பிள்ளை,மதி சூழ் மீனின், தாய் வழிப்படூஉம்சிறுகுடி மறவர் சேக் கோள் தண்ணுமைக்குஎருவைச் சேவல் இருஞ் சிறை பெயர்க்கும்வெரு வரு கானம், நம்மொடு,”வருவல்” என்றோள் மகிழ் மட நோக்கே? Plenty of intricate images as we listen to the man say these words to his heart, in the middle of his journey through the drylands: “In the middle of the night and in the long, dull evenings, with an unceasing affliction, filled with suffering and sorrow, as the pain that arises in worrying about me gets out of bounds, what will become of her, O heart? As those harsh-eyed robbers, with long, coarse beards, lacking in any great beauty, sharpened their arrows, edges have chipped on those fearsome, ancient hero stones, and those words of praise etched on them, which celebrate the name and fame, had become indecipherable. Ignoring the stones, without looking closely, with much fatigue, wayfarers hastily cross these paths, in those scrub jungles filled with toothbrush trees, atop which spirits reside. Here in the front yard of a hut that reeks of flesh, surrounded by a fence of moist thorns, lies a litter of a painting-like wild cat's kittens, having bushy hair, akin to mountain knotgrass, around their mother, akin to stars that encircle the moon, in that small hamlet, where hearing the cattle-raiding drum beats of robbers, a male vulture spreads its huge wings and flutters away. Such are those formidable, fear-evoking jungles, and it's to such spaces, that maiden, with a joyous, naive appearance had said, ‘I shall come with you!'” Let’s tread the paths of this difficult domain and learn more! The man starts by expressing his anxiety about the lady’s state, who he sees as worrying about him in the night and in the lonely evenings. Then, he goes on to describe the drylands space, and to do that, he zooms on to an ancient hero stone, and how it has become somewhat mutilated because the robbers of the land seemed to use that as the whetstone to sharpen their arrows, and because of this, the words that describe the name and fame of those buried there had become broken, and owing to this state of affairs, wayfarers seemed to rush past these stones, without even reading closely and paying their respects. A lot of culture lies embedded in this description and we’ll delve into that shortly. The man continues by talking about these spaces and now he shifts his attention to a bunch of wild cat kittens lying around their mother, like stars around the moon, and also paints an image of a vulture, spreading its wings and scattering away, upon hearing the drumbeats of the said robbers, announcing a cattle raid. The man concludes by remarking with astonishment that it’s to such a fearsome space that the lady had wanted to accompany him!  This implies that the lady thought all that danger in the world outside was far better than the loneliness of lamenting without the man’s presence. Together, you can conquer anything, is it not? Wonder why the man still refused to bring along his beloved! Maybe his culture forbade him. Speaking of culture, the mention of those ancient hero stones in this ancient verse tells us this practice extended to a time long before this record, and particularly, the mention of words and letters speaking of the glory of that buried person echoes aloud that this was a literate society that had mastered language centuries in the past! And so we find how a few lines about a familiar terrain reveal to us the depth of culture and learning in this ancient society!

The heartbreaking murder of Benaya Malat HY"D, the civilian security coordinator of Havat Gilad, should shake every Israeli to the core. Instead, many in Israel's political left and segments of the media rushed to recycle the same tired accusation: "settler violence." The newly released videos tell a very different story.In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why this tragedy exposes a far deeper crisis than a single terrorist attack. Jewish families hiking near Havat Gilad were attacked by jihadi Arab assailants. Benaya rushed to defend them and, as seen in the videos of the incident, repeatedly tried to avoid using deadly force, even using his rifle as a club rather than firing. Moments later, after his weapon was seized by the village Sheikh, he was fatally shot.Avi argues that this tragedy reflects a broader problem: Israeli soldiers, security personnel, and armed civilians often fear the legal consequences of using force in self-defense. He discusses concerns raised by reservists, elected officials, and others about Israel's current rules of engagement, the influence of military legal oversight, and whether existing policies discourage decisive action against imminent threats.The discussion also examines the continuing debate over security policy in Judea and Samaria, the lessons many Israelis believe should be learned from October 7, and the importance of restoring deterrence while protecting innocent lives.Whether you agree or disagree, these are questions that deserve serious public discussion—not slogans or political talking points.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

If you're a Christian entrepreneur who feels overwhelmed in your business, this episode is for you. You're not overwhelmed because you need to work harder or find another productivity hack. You're overwhelmed because you're trying to build a business that doesn't fit how God made you, and that mismatch is what leads to burnout. We walk through the four real reasons you feel overwhelmed: Building someone else's version of success Working outside your zone of genius Saying yes to good opportunities that were never your assignment Ignoring how God actually wired you Then I give you five simple questions to find the work that gives you energy and the work you need to delegate or let go. If you're tired of forcing a version of success that was never meant for you, this episode is your permission to stop, and to build the business God designed for you instead.                                                            __________________________________________________________

Your kid is going to see the internet, even if you try to block it forever, so we bring in a voice who has been studying the digital world from the beginning. Cybersecurity expert, author, and futurist Winn Schwartau joins us to answer the question parents ask most: “How can I protect my kids online?” His response is blunt and strangely reassuring: you can't, not completely. What you can do is get serious about tools, involvement, and a simple security mindset that works everywhere from banks to families: detect and react.We unpack what healthy digital habits actually look like at home, starting with screen time limits and why the type of screen matters as much as the number of hours. We talk about social media addiction, the like button as a reward loop, and why hundreds of online “friends” can warp teen identity and fuel insecurity. Wynne also explains research suggesting kids raised on constant tech may be wired differently, and why real human connection still takes time and effort.Then we go deeper into misinformation, attention economics, and Winn's upcoming concept of “critical ignoring,” a practical way to fight information overload before it becomes a brain-level DDoS attack. You'll hear simple filters like “I don't care” and “I don't have time,” why “do your own research” is often a red flag, and how to approach source verification with “trust nothing, verify twice.” If you're looking for online safety tips for parents, media literacy for teens, and digital wellbeing strategies that don't rely on fear, this conversation delivers.Connect with WinnCheck out the book The Art & Science of Metawar: How to Coexist With AI-Driven Reality Distortion, Disinformation, & Addiction in the Metaverse.

Teaching from 1 Timothy 2:1–8, Ryan Moore explains that prayer is learning to live with a continual awareness that God is present and available. Prayer reshapes what matters to us, gives us access to God through Jesus rather than our own achievement, and changes our hearts before it changes our circumstances.

In this video, I break down why ignoring your intuition around narcissistic and toxic people almost always ends in regret. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I share real coaching stories of hidden families, “just best friends” who were more than friends, and the way manipulators override your gut feeling with charm, lies and love‑bombing. You'll learn why no one is ever “thrilled” they ignored red flags, how lust and physical attraction can fry your brain, and why bedroom discipline and boundaries are crucial in today's dating world. If you keep telling yourself “something feels off, but they're so attractive,” this video will give you language, validation and practical insight to finally trust your intuition. The price you pay for ignoring your gut is almost always higher than the price you pay for following it.Contact me here - https://link.me/mentalhealness

On July 25, 1968, Pope Paul VI published Humane Vitae. And on July 25, 1978, the first test-tube baby was born. It seems fitting that these events would fall on the same day; the culture and even some within the church disregarded the warnings of Humane Vitae when it was published, and we've been paying the price ever since.

In this episode of The Inventive Journey, Devin Miller interviews Sergey Korolev about a founder path that refuses to stay in one lane. Sergey's story begins with robotics engineering at Bauman Technical University in Moscow, includes competitive water polo, moves into enterprise automation, and then grows into Just Food, a meal kit and delivery business that reached roughly $10 million in annual revenue over about six years.Just Food was not a cute side project with a logo and three inspirational quotes taped to a wall. It was a real operating business with logistics, customer expectations, influencer marketing, engineering demands, and the daily joy of discovering that food delivery is simple only when someone else is doing it. Sergey and his team grew the company in Russia's health and fitness market, learning how to build systems, manage pressure, and turn a real customer need into a scaling company.Then the environment changed. Sergey explains how geopolitical constraints made it difficult to build the kind of global company he wanted from Russia. He eventually moved to Portugal and stepped away from running the food tech company. That transition forced a bigger founder question: after building one successful company, what comes next?Sergey did not want to simply recreate the same model in a different wrapper. He wanted a company that could be global from the beginning, a category with meaningful technical depth, and an engineering partner who could bring serious domain expertise. That search led him into mobile application security and to the creation of Oversecured.Oversecured helps enterprises find vulnerabilities in mobile applications. The company focuses on a problem that is becoming harder for businesses to ignore. Mobile apps are not just tiny brand brochures anymore. They handle authentication, payments, private data, location, workflows, and connections to backend systems. When mobile security is treated as an afterthought, the risks can become very real, very fast, and very unpleasant for everyone except the attacker.In the conversation, Sergey also shares one of his toughest founder lessons: underestimating emotions in negotiations. Founders often want to believe that business conflict is rational because there are contracts, spreadsheets, and people using phrases like “alignment.” But negotiations are full of pride, fear, trust, control, timing, and incentives. Ignoring the emotional side can turn a business disagreement into an expensive lesson with legal paperwork attached.Sergey's advice to founders is memorable: act more and think less. The point is not to be careless. The point is to stop mistaking private overthinking for progress. Startups learn by testing, selling, shipping, listening, and adapting. A founder who takes action creates feedback. A founder who only plans creates prettier uncertainty.This episode is especially useful for startup founders and small business owners thinking about pivots, market constraints, cofounder selection, enterprise sales, or how to build after a previous chapter ends. Sergey's journey shows that a pivot is not automatically a failure. Sometimes it is the most honest response to what the market, the world, and your own ambition are telling you.Listen for a conversation about reinvention, global company-building, cybersecurity, zero-day vulnerabilities, negotiation mistakes, and why the founder path often looks obvious only after you have already survived it.You will also hear how Sergey approached the zero-to-one stage differently the second time around. His criteria were clearer: build with the right technical partner, avoid regional limitations, and choose a market where deep expertise could become a durable advantage. That is useful perspective for any founder who has outgrown one chapter but has not yet named the next one.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Liz Lange proves that the best marketing rarely needs a big budget, just the right people.On Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Liz Lange, founder of Liz Lange Maternity, about what it takes to build a business when the money and the confidence are not there yet. Partnership marketing sits at the center of it all, but not in the polished, strategic sense people mean today. For Liz, it looked like trust. It looked like showing up for people and letting the relationship do the work.Liz talks openly about starting as a bootstrap founder with almost nothing to lose and everything to prove. She is candid about the fear behind every major decision, and how often the loudest advice turned out to be wrong. Her instincts, not her budget, were what carried the business forward.The real thread running through this episode is trust. Trust in yourself, trust in slow relationships over quick wins, and trust that partnership marketing can outperform any ad spend when it comes from something real. For Liz, this wasn't a tactic. Networking with women came naturally to her.This is one of those real founder stories that reminds you that good PR for small businesses often starts with a single relationship, not a plan. It's proof that female founders do not need permission to trust what they already know.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Welcome to Dear FoundHer and the Growing Founder Community02:47 Meet Liz Lange, Maternity Fashion Pioneer03:47 Starting Liz Lange Maternity With a Fax Machine and No Budget09:13 Dressing Celebrities and Building Word of Mouth Marketing15:36 Learning the Fashion Business From the Ground Up19:07 Opening the First Liz Lange Maternity Store in New York23:27 Landing the Nike Partnership Marketing Deal27:05 How the Target Deal Changed the Business Forever33:29 Ignoring the Naysayers and Trusting Her Instincts39:03 Bootstrapping the Business Without Raising Outside Money41:37 Balancing Motherhood With a Fast Growing Business44:06 Life After Liz Lange Maternity and Home Shopping Network45:15 Buying the Figue Brand and Building a New Chapter46:17 Finding Community and Connection on Social Media49:13 Three Actionable Steps for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Liz Lange:Follow Liz on InstagramJoin the Dear FoundHer...

We dive right into the bizarre social media drama surrounding Mitchell Robinson, who is now a member of the Boston Celtics and is actively talking trash to both his new fan base and former Knicks teammates like Josh Hart. We debate whether his online antics are just tongue-in-cheek banter or a sign of real bitterness over the Knicks choosing to pay other players instead of him. After a wild detour into newly released UFO files, analyzing why an advanced alien species wouldn't bother invading Earth and debating the existence of wormholes, we hit the phones to tackle the state of modern baseball. We discuss the lack of player development in youth travel leagues and the strategic risks of locking up young stars like Ben Rice before they hit free agency. Finally, we confront the ultimate New York sports question: do we overreact to our teams' struggles, or was calling the Mets' season a disaster by April 20th just an unavoidable reality?

"Can I forgive someone and still keep healthy boundaries?" "Why does forgiveness still feel impossible?" Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful teachings of the Christian faith—and one of the most misunderstood. Many of us learned that forgiveness meant moving on quickly, letting go of our anger, or restoring a relationship before trust had been rebuilt. But what if forgiveness isn't about minimizing harm at all? In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook sits down with theologian, author, and advocate Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing to explore a richer, more biblically grounded understanding of forgiveness. Together they unpack the difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, justice, and repair—and why naming the truth of what happened is an essential part of healing. Whether you're navigating family wounds, betrayal, church hurt, or simply wondering why forgiveness feels so difficult, this conversation offers both compassion and hope. You'll learn: Why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation. How forgiveness differs from denying or minimizing harm. Why anger can be a healthy and necessary part of healing. How forgiveness and justice can exist together. What Scripture teaches about forgiveness after abuse or betrayal. Why forgiveness is often a journey rather than a single decision. How God's grace empowers forgiveness without requiring self-abandonment. Forgiveness isn't pretending the wound never happened. It's telling the truth about what was lost while slowly allowing God's grace to heal what was broken. Make sure to check out Amy's new book, “Forgiveness: Reclaiming Its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear” More Resources: You can now preorder Dr. Alison's newest book, The Secure Soul, and immediately receive the first 3 chapters as well as early access to the companion guide!
